Are the days of computer labs on campus numbered?
Centralized PC labs have been an important part of both campus space planning and IT infrastructure, but this may be changing. As colleges and universities look to trim budgets, computer labs with banks of PC’s are not being spared from the cuts.

With the advent of laptop computers, it is becoming increasingly common for students to own personal computers. In fact, about 83 percent of students at four-year-colleges own them, up dramatically from 36 percent in 2003.

Students simply upload their documents to a website portal for printing. Read how Ball State University uses PrinterOn.
